OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To assess the efficacy of laser therapy for the management of premalignant oral lesions.

The microscopic diagnosis included idiopathic focal keratosis, dysplasias of all grades, and verrucous hyperplasia (proliferative verrucous leukoplakia). Thirty-nine patients h...

Verrucous carcinoma (VC) is an exophytic, low-grade, well-differentiated variant of squamous cell carcinoma. It is described as a lesion appearing in the sixth or seventh decade of life that has minimal aggressive potential and, in long-standing cases, has been shown to transform into squamous cell carcinoma. Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is a potentially malignant disorder, and about one-thir...
